Procedure

1Connect the HDMI output from the set top box or a DVD player to the HDMI input on the back of the unit.

•If you cannot display the picture because your Digital Set Top Box does not have a Digital Out terminal setting, use the Component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). In this case, the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.

2Press TV/VIDEO to select HDMI input.

By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminals of this Projection Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is for use in the future when High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)

Notes:

•Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 32)

•The HDMI IN terminals can only be used with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i picture signals.

•If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.

•Be sure HDMI is securely connected. If not, picture noise and/or incorrect picture display may result.

•With HDMI connection, depending on the signal, the picture may be displayed with unnatural colors (as if red and blue are reversed). Refer to “Color Corr.” on page 41.

These models are characterized by their advanced technologies, impressive display features, and user-friendly interfaces that cater to a wide range of viewing preferences.

Both models feature a 56-inch screen, making them perfect for home theater setups.

Another important technology present in both models is the "Real Motion" processing, which minimizes motion blur, making fast-paced sequences in sports and action movies look smoother. This is particularly beneficial for dynamic viewing, as it allows for greater immersion in fast-paced content.

The sound systems in both models are designed to complement their visual prowess. Equipped with built-in speakers that provide a satisfactory audio experience, these televisions can fill a room with sound. Users looking for a more cinematic experience can connect external audio systems through multiple audio input options.
